Portage Lakes

"Beautiful course! Only complaint is the short pads are a bit short for a run up and on some of the short pads you go from a challenging long pad to Ace run shorts.. Watch your disc. Easy to lose in the brush if you don't know where you landed. Thank you to all the folks who put the course together and help with upkeep! Keep it up! I'll be spreading the word of this place to anyone who will listen back in my home state of Kansas and be back when possible. "

"Great course. Tight lines. Lots of hallways. Bring bug spray and pants."

"Upkeep"

"A fun challenge up and down the hills in the woods and near the lake "

"Nice course. Well groomed and multiple layouts. Beautiful holes."

"Wonderful course. First time here and it was a blast. Lots of trees though. "

"Surprisingly dry this morning with all the rain we’ve had. Enjoyed the course, although the markings to next tee boxes could be much better. 4 star rating is only due to a couple tee boxes that were hard to find (7) in particular. Expect water hazards and quite a bit of up and down shots. Will I go back, absolutely. "

"Fun course with a fine layout. Gets a little repetitive at times, but the biggest plus for this course is how well the locals take care of it. Very clean"

"Lots of trees on every hole and some water holes, #14 is a bear. Well maintained with good tee pads. Long and short tees and baskets. Try to hit less than 18 trees per round."

"Good course lots of trees "

"Good course. I’m not a huge fan but I can’t pin point exactly why. "

"Good challenging wooded course"

"Some really awesome holes, but a lot of the fairways need opened up a little. Potential to be a top 10 course in Ohio, but it’s not quite there. "

"So fun!!! Cart friendly for me. Great wooded lines with fair ways to throw!!"

"Some broken glass off tee pads but overall very clean "

"Nice course. Not super technical(for shorts at least) nicely maintained and picturesque, got lucky and caught the blimp landing while on hole 5. "

"Longer tee pads"

"Classic woods golf, very challenging. Even short tees to short baskets was one of the toughest rounds I’ve played"

"Good course. Nice mix of wooded and open shots. The lake comes into play on multiple holes. Course has older DGA baskets. Could use better directional signage between holes. Tee pads are a little shorter than I’m used to. The wind off the lake plays a huge factor on your score. Slso scoring well here requires you hitting your lanes. I’d recommend giving this course a try. Fun play but challenging."

"Water got my frisbees! Lol "

"Heavily wooded with short and long tee pads to match short and long baskets to really give you playing options. Beautiful park."

"Great course. Crappy baskets "

"First time at the course with my daughter. This is great for all skills and we will be back"

"Unforgiving and incredibly fun. "

"Beautiful scenery. Nice course for everyone. A couple of shots around water but it wasn't too bad. Will most likely return. "

"Beautiful course! Well maintained, very challenging, multiple layouts and fun!!"

"2 pins 2 baskets over all an enjoyable course, didn't care for the walk between 8 and 9 though.. people fishing around several baskets :( 😞 upsetting 😡 also walking paths cut through fairways "

"Technically challenging course. Water hazards on a third of the holes. Lots of brush to contend with. If you don’t bring a spotter, you will lose three discs. If you bring a spotter, you’ll lose one."

"Play this course weekly and it is a great challenge for an intermediate to advanced player. Only issue is with the upkeep. Mostly it is pretty well manicured, but often the fairways are over grown and the rough impossibly thick."

"Course was great and the options were awesome to have. Well laid out so you never felt like you were playing into another group. "

"Absolutely beautiful state park for a disc golf course! Enjoyed the views and the technicality of the course as well!"

"Loved the views and incorporating the beautiful lake at times. I think other state parks should take note. Love being able to pick a basket as well as tee, multiple options you could go with. Tough lines, but risk and reward. "

"Love this course! Fantastic design, good variety of shots, and wonderful upkeep."

"It's a beautiful park/course. There is a good mix of challenges on holes; some open shots, downhill, uphill, lots of trees, and some water hazards (so be careful!)"

"Played short to long. Nice course. Played on a crappy day but the course is awesome. Will play again. "

"Good course for the most part with a beautiful location. A few holes have fictional hallways that feel a bit more like relying on luck rather than pure skill/"hitting those demanding lines" because of no clear landing zones and hoping you didn't land behind yet another tree you couldn't account for. (1/9/10) Couple of holes bring water into play nicely, and good elevation changes are incorporated well. The options for A/B baskets also, make this a nice course overall, but a little frustrating. "

"dry, clean, well kept tee pads! Really fun course"

"What a course!!!!! Mulitple tee pads and baskets. Lots of big trees and water hazards. Scenery is beautiful. Its challenging, irritating and amazing. hahahaha "

"Too few lines between the woods. You have to through the perfect line."

"Great course. Very fun to play. Only downside is the broken glass. "

"Great views and holes along the way. Many options for players of all levels. Well marked course too. "

"Beautiful course with great variety. A bit buggy because of the lake and a few too many holes with baskets at the water's edge."

"Generally a solid course. This is very technical with a good variation of shot types. Water comes into play occasionally. "

"Awesome course, several shots of you are long you are in the lake! Multiple tee boxes and baskets to vary things up. "

"Very cool layout. Nice course"

"Best course I've played yet in NE Ohio. Home course is Kent State and it was great playing a course that's incredibly well maintained for a change. Loved that you can theoretically play through this course six times and have it be different on each play by switching up which basket/tee you play. Overall the course is very challenging playing long tees, but also very manageable if playing shorts. Plenty of water hazard, but it can be avoided if desired. Look forward to coming back. "

"Back 9 can be quite punishing. Still very fun, though"

"Well kept course with lots of variety. Long and short baskets and tees offer something for every skill level. Great signage at tees and at baskets indicating the direction of the next tee (visiting from out of town and playing a solo round, I really appreciated these)."

"Super pretty, although the weeds are a little long in some spots around baskets on the back 9. Otherwise, great course"

"The more you play this course the more you will like it. Challenging but fair. Well maintained. "

"This course is incredible. Signs and tee pads are great. There's even a broom at every tee box to sweep if needed. The fairways are fantastic and challenging. The course design is so much fun. This is the best course in the area by far in my opinion."

"Signage is great. Scenery, upkeep, and design is fantastic. I played short-short and long-long, felt like two entirely different courses. Cannot recommend enough, great work to the designers and volunteers"

"Beautiful course"

"Pretty course. Tons of fun. A few holes are really quite pretty. Lots of glass though, watch out."

"Amazing course very challenging. It's missing a half of a star bc the water ate my disc!"

"Very technical, lots of heavily wooded area"

"Great signage and gameplay! Lots of options for play (short and long teepads and holes). Well maintained. Good variety of elevation, woods, and a few more open type holes. Play this course! "

"Super pretty course. The signage is great. Definitely a “throw and pray” course as the trees are pretty much always in your way. Would definitely come back but wouldn’t throw any valuable discs as water can be a hazard. Pretty busy with hikers, walkers, rafters, etc "

"Love the multitude of tee and basket placements for each hole. "

"Love the course! Very clean and kept well. "

"Incredible course. Very well maintained. Beautiful setting. "

"Very well maintained course. Lots of signage. Water hazards make it very scenic. Pretty difficult overall. Lost 1 disc to the back 9."

"Beautiful course but if you suck like me you won’t enjoy tough course"

"Great course, could use some maintenance though. Some branches taken out, generally cleaned up, etc."

"Really well maintained for February in Ohio!"

"Has it all! Can’t wait to play without all the snow. Long tees recently treated with rock salt. Shout out to the folks who maintain the course. I will make the 2 hr. trip to play again for sure."

"A bit muddy but great course"

"Perfectly designed, but I hit a miraculously small amount of trees today 😉."

"First time playing. Enjoyable challenging course. Tons of ticks. "

"KILLER TRACK!!! HAS EVERYTHING YOU'D WANT :) 1 OF MY PERSONAL FAVORITES IN NORTH OHIO XOXOXOXO #WATER SHOTS GALORE!"

"A rewarding and equally punishing course. It will most certainly keep you on the edge of our seat and put your skills to the test! There are tight and narrow fairways, tunnels with twists and turns, drastic elevation changes, and let's not forget the water that can be lurking around the rough, or seemingly more frequently, standing boldly in your line of sight! Nonetheless, it's a beautiful aesthetic and an enjoyable challenge along the way!"

"I love this course but i can't handle how much broken glass there is😂"

"Likely my favorite course in Ohio. Very well layed out, with beautiful changes in topography with massive trees that bring about a need for careful, technical shots."

"Tight fairways. Long are long."

"Nice"

"Fantastic! Super well marked. Fresh wood chips around all the holes. Great geography, especially on the first four holes. Super fun!"

"great course super challenging and lots of trees well marked tees"

"Harder than a diamond in an ice storm. "

"Great course, great upkeep. Tough challenge."

"Great course, maintained greatly and my #1 favorite course. the woods provide slim fairways and just make the course that much cooler. definitely going back. Also be warned, VERY DIFFICULT. "

"Decent amount of trash/broken glass yikes"

"Love this course!"

"front 9 was fun, back nine a little over grown,thick weeds and burrs in rough."

"Nice course. Long to long requires much skill. Too much trash and broken bottles all over the damn place though."

"upkept course. long tees can be quite unforgiving, but worth the long distance shots "

"Course was a little confusing with it having two different tees and baskets. Other than that super nice course"

"Very tough course. Bring you A game if playing long to long baskets! "

"Back 9 is tough for a beginner/intermediate player. But enjoyed this course! I played the short tees to short baskets. "

"I’d play this course all the time if I lived here. "

"Great course, challenging with lots of control shots. Enjoyed the layout and the views of the lakes. Lost a disk on 17, went up over the berm and was eaten by the poison ivy monster. Can’t wait to play here again"

"Some holes are a little harder to traverse. The course is pretty well maintained and overall pretty fun. There are some water hazards to watch out for. Overall fun course."

"Very technical course that can be frustrating for beginners. Other than that this course offers a large variety of shots with some scenic holes sprinkled in. Some course clean up wouldn't hurt as there is quite a bit of broken glass laying around. "

"Amazing course and in perfect shape! Highly recommended for all players. Multiple tee boxes gives everyone a fun round."

"Brutal"

"First time playing this course. Scenic views and a great community. Maybe a few less trees here and there, but overall a fun and challenging course. Will definitely test your skills!"

"Excellent technical course. Drains very well. Best part is that all 18 holes have 2 concrete tee pads and two baskets. Makes for many different playing configurations. Volunteers do a amazing job out there. Only down side is the thorns and bugs in the summer time. Overall a top notch course that will be sure to tune your skill."

"Definitely a good course to work on throwing in tight spaces. If you throw into highly wooded areas you in scramble mode. But all around super nice and fun community. "

"Definitely one of the most well rounded courses I’ve played "

"Great Course, Best One in the Akron Canton Area."

"Gorgeous views, multiple tees and baskets, good signage. Outstanding!"

"Great woods course "

"Must play"

"Beautiful course. Super fun challenging course. However, I gotta say that a handful of the holes could use some adjustments. I just don’t understand some of the hole designs. There are more than a handful of hole layouts where there are clear lanes that are the intended routes. However. In many cases, obstacles and trees often punish the “intended” routes while “unintended” routes offer uninhibited approaches. With a few adjustments; this could be a five star course. "

"Definitely a top course for me mixture of holes that present challenging lines. One of my most played courses"

"Awesome course heavily treed but well constructed "

"Awesome course, heads up for ticks! Our group had a few when we got home. "

"Super challenging gnats not so bad"

"Amazing course, great layout, challenging, great views, highly recommend!!"

"Course is in great shape. Just a couple fairways that could use some cleaning up but overall nothing to complain about "
